I was hoping to see a heated city council meeting. Maybe something where Blackbird shows up all wearing “#1 Developer” t-shirts only to have Mandelbaum reveal he was wearing “World’s Greatest Developer” t- shirt.

throw in some bail bonds shops and we will be right back to what they were trying to get away from in the first place. This isnt 2001 downtown. Trying to draw people with money downtown, not scare them away.Court Ave needs a hookah lounge, a head shop, some chatch shops, and a titty bar imo.

right, but unfortunately for you (but luckily for most everyone else), downtown is not being designed based off your interests. A movie theater for example is going to draw more people downtown than a head shop.I have money and everything they are doing is turning me off. It's a downtown not a McDonalds Playplace.

NeatI have Netflix and Prime like the rest of the civilized world. I don't care to be around the morons that waste 25 dollars on a medium soda and large popcorn and then pay extra for ranch seasoning salt.
Good for you. The fact that theaters seem to have interest in expanding and the fact that theaters are hitting record box office numbers says the market disagrees with you. Ticket sales revenues are up for the distributors, and with more and more theaters offering full-service options, id wager each theater is drawing more dollars per viewer as well these days too.I have Netflix and Prime like the rest of the civilized world.

The updated agreement approved Monday gives Mandelbaum the option to build a hotel along Court Avenue in place of a theater. The hotel must be at least 150 rooms if built on Court Avenue and at least 84 if built on Walnut as part of the tower.
Previously, the agreement called for a 50-room hotel.
Under the new deadlines approved Monday by the City Council, Mandelbaum must:
- Finish the parking garage by Oct. 31, 2019.
- Start construction on the theater or hotel facing Court Avenue by Oct. 31, 2019.
- Start construction on the Walnut Street tower by Oct. 31, 2019.
- Reopen skywalk sections by Sept. 1, 2022.
Here's the Register article on Blackbird pulling their proposal and some Mandelbaum proposal amendments: http://www.desmoinesregister.com/st...rd-withdraws-clears-path-mandelbaum/99994930/
It looks like the threatre isn't a lock now. The city said they can do a hotel in place of it.
The theatre is out the window. The new proposal is very similar to Blackbirds.
someone notify the downtown planning committee that he has netflix and prime. Stop the construction immediately
I think this was the appropriate clip...
What would be #2? The list I've seen goes:The Mandelbaum Tower is now proposed at 40 stories, 452 feet. This will make it the 3rd tallest building in Iowa.
